“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane has now settled all matters pertaining to her ESP book with her publisher. In the 198th session, Seth said she would receive a letter from her publisher by the next Saturday. Jane did receive a letter then from his secretary, but not a definitive one. It is thus interesting to note that she received the information she wanted by the next Saturday, however; October 22, Friday, to be exact. We have yet to receive any word on our kitchen enlargement, which Seth also predicted would be settled by the Saturday after the 198th session.

(There follows a copy of my dream of Thursday night, October 21, as taken from my dream notebook: “I dreamed briefly that the first of the two short stories Jane has sold has now been published—The Big Freeze, I believe—and that as a result Jane can now get paid for it.” I hoped Seth would comment on the dream.

(Saturday, October 23, Jane learned that her short story, The Big Freeze, was on the stands, in Dude Magazine. She had not been notified by the magazine that it would be. She is also to be paid on publication, rather than acceptance of the material. The magazine had appeared on the stands Friday, October 22.

(In the 200th session, Seth said Jane’s publisher, Frederick Fell, would be hurt by Jane’s demands for action, but would cover it with a cosmopolitan air. In his letter of October 22, the publisher certainly did write a cosmopolitan letter, in our opinion.

There was also a rather humorous translation here. When you awakened you felt chilly; although you could not remember having been given the title, The Big Freeze, this information was translated into bodily sensation. You were consciously concerned over financial matters. You were wondering when any additional funds would be received, and this gave impetus to your abilities. You asked a question and received an answer.

The sensation of cold was a clue to the title of the story, but one you would not have recognized on a conscious level. There is no reason for you to worry about financial matters. You are hardly in any difficulties here, nor will there be any.

(It was now time for Jane to attempt to tune in on Bill and Peggy Gallagher for the last time while they were on vacation. We were not sure but thought they might be on the way home from Puerto Rico by now. Jane began speaking with her eyes closed. Her pace once again became quite slow, with many pauses; although she would give a paragraph of material rather quickly at times between pauses. Resume while sitting down at 9:29.)

I thought I would be polite and ask.

(In the 104th session, Seth said that Jane would sell some of the short stories from the group she was working on at the time of the session. The two sales, including the one just published, are from this group; in addition Jane missed out on other sales from the group because various publishers wrote her that although they liked her material, they already had similar ideas in inventory. Jane has now begun work on another group of short stories. Enough time lapses between her short-story work so that it is easy to keep the groups separate. See Volume 3.
